Any way to minimize Thunderbird to the system tray?

I'm running TB 60.3.2 32 bit on windows 10 btw.

This bug report is irrelevant, as there is no such option in Thunderbird.

Also, all of the addon's that do it aren't compatible with Thunderbird 60.3.2 32 bit.

I assume that the post this could be a dupe of being 4 years old means I can post it myself.

you are aware of the bugs and the current dearth of compatible add-ons. That is about the state of play. I really have nothing more to add to the situation.

Download this file, then open Tools/Add-ons/Extensions in TB, click the gear icon next to Search, Install add-on from file..., select the xpi file. Adjust the settings under Tools/Add-on Options.

Using FireTray 0.6.5 in TB 60.5.1/Win10...works fine but occasionally will NOT show up in the system tray...have you experienced similar issue at your end?

I don't use FireTray on a regular basis, so I suggest you direct your question to the Issues forum. Make sure TB is enabled in the Notification area in Win10 Taskbar Settings.

Yeah, TB is enabled in Win10 notification area however FireTray will vanish intermittently. Thanks for the suggestion on using the dedicated Issues forum.
